Chapter 997: Little Scoundrel

After a few frustrating moments during which Lu Zihao almost blew his top, he finally managed to ward off Bacon's poisonously unsolicited advice-slash-criticism by promising the little rascal that he would take all the blame for stealing the files about Rose Young from Iris' secret virtual security vault. 

At this point, he felt helpless from his AI nephew's verbal attacks. He was already prepared to promise the cunning Bacon almost anything just to shut the kid up from mentioning anything about his breakup with Long Jinjing. Fortunately, Bacon was satisfied by his promise to take all the blame and left him to return to Shadow Winds where the rascal could bully everyone in the hacker team instead.

Lu Zihao released a sigh of big relief after his sharp-tongued AI nephew finally left him alone. He continued driving aimlessly, trying to clear his mind of everything that was bothering him.
